The twenty-eight year old midfielder has made just seven appearances since signing from Crystal Palace for £250,000 and has only scored one goal – on his debut against Barnet in the League Cup.

Abject

I will admit as I write this that I am shell-shocked. I can’t remember a home performance as bad as that since the infamous seven-nil to Liverpool in the cup under Steve Bruce. I actually don’t think I can pick a word to describe just how bad it was.

Don’t Panic

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

I think it’s fairly safe to say that there are a lot of unimpressed Blues fans out there. Two games in, both against promoted opposition and only one point picked up have led to calls from some for changes within the team, new signings – the whole kit and caboodle. Are things really that bad?
